The Waterways hotel guide. Independent hotel in The Waterways, Waikato

"Everything we needed. Always stay here when in Whitianga."

"Great property. Easy access to the Firth. A-frame rooms are spacious and well maintained. Great base for fishingn"

"Great place to stay for a stop over and close to all the sights to see"

"Everything about the place, made for a great stay"

"Clean room, good facilities. I arrived just after the office had closed, so I was very grateful for the kindness of the lady on the phone."

"Fantastic friendly staff. Great room with outstanding views."

"Room was clean... bed was ok as far as comfort. But this was really a "just the basics" room. I didn't think they made TVs that small anymore and the sound fluctuated from "what did he say?" to "OMG that's loud" all on its own. There is a $50 fee for not washing dishes but there is no sink, except the one in the bathroom."

"Beautiful view of beach just steps from patio (across the street). Kitchen very well stocked. Unit very spacious and in a great location to walk to shops, restaurants, wharf and ferry go day trips. Not sure if it was time of the year but unit felt damp all the time and slightly musty. Queen bed very comfortable but twin mattresses need replacing, soft and very saggy."

"No spa. Room freshener rather overwhelming. Did not meet any staff except at check-in. Very clean & towels changed daily."
